Subway describes its tuna sandwich as “freshly baked bread” layered with “flaked tuna blended with creamy mayo then topped with your choice of crisp, fresh veggies.” It’s a description designed to activate the saliva glands — and separate you from your money.
It’s also fiction, at least partially, according to a recent lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges the ingredient billed as “tuna” for the chain’s sandwiches and wraps contains absolutely no tuna.
A representative of Subway said the claims are without merit. Not only is its tuna the real deal, the company says, but it’s wild-caught, too.
The star ingredient, according to the lawsuit, is “made from anything but tuna.” Based on independent lab tests of “multiple samples” taken from Subway locations in California, the “tuna” is “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together by defendants to imitate the appearance of tuna,” according to the complaint.

The attorneys on both sides are milking this for all that it is worth. My parents have already spent twice what the scam artist gave them for a deposit on attorney fees. This has been going on for years now. The scam artist is hoping my parents will die from old age or Covid.
They are expensive....like Five Guys
7-10 a sandwich easy
My heart breaks for them. An experience like this is quite an education on the whole justice system. I’ve had to deal, although mercifully on a smaller scale, and am now a pure cynic. Godspeed to them.
Well I’ll be damned, sir. I can’t tell you how pleasing it is to find someone who knows the the difference between a dolphin and a porpoise and actually cares about it.
It has really irritated me for decades. There is no comparison except in the minds of dolts who cannot distinguish between Mammalian and Piscean species. Leave it to a submariner to assauge my frustration.
A good day to you, sir!
I am glad that you enjoy eating there. I am sure that there are things that I eat that you would find less than ideal as well.
When they started out they were pretty good, but now if I eat there (and it doesn’t matter what I eat) I get rather disturbing and uncomfortable intestinal reactions, requiring close proximity to a throne.
Perhaps I could have used a less provocative adjective, but I used the one best descriptive of my experience with that particular product.
I can't eat the foot-long at our Subway it's so loaded with fresh meat, veggies, and bread.
Yep!
They use sirloin steaks, thin cut, and disguise them...
(At least that is what I heard somewhere... Never having eaten there...)
Hat tip in return.
it's called 2na, kinda like beff or loobster

And pickles. Finely chopped.
For about the first four or five years of our marriage I would offer to make my husband a tuna fish sandwich. He would say no, with a shutter. I would make him some other kind of sandwich and would make me one.
One day he got home before I did and was feeling peckish. I had left some tuna salad in the refrigerator so he decided to try it.
I came home to an empty dish.
Apparently to him tuna salad was tuna (water packed) and gobs of mayo.
My olive oil packed with fresh dill, lemon, Beau Monde, celery, onion and home made pickles with a tiny dab of mayo was just a tad bit different in flavor.
LOL...
That’s the point about baloney...I figure everything including the kitchen sink has been thrown in.
Hmm...that looks good. I love me some fried food.
Speaking of mortadella... I was stationed in Sicily back in the ‘70s and some of my fondest memories was the food. One special “meal” was a trip to the fresh bread shop for some hot rolls...then to the meat shop for some thin-sliced meat (including mortadella) and cheese. Slap that on those hot rolls...with a bottle of wine. The good old days, LOL.
Sicilian staple, among other delectables.

Tuna used to be that way too the added dolphin/porpoise made it real tasty - then the enviowackos showed up and made everything sanitary and more bland
baloney also includes floor sweepings, sawdust, dried blood, and other nutritious stuff.
Alaskan Pollock, I think, which is very good in its own right, but it ain't crab!
Fried mortadella, provolone cheese is the bomb!!!
I buy it all the time. Great in salads
